WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge agreed on Friday to block the Trump administration from dismantling an independent agency that distributes grant money to community development groups in Latin American and Caribbean countries.

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ruled that the administration doesn’t have the authority to remove the head of the Inter-American Foundation, which is governed by a bipartisan nine-member board.
 
Congress created the foundation more than 50 years ago. It has disbursed $945 million to thousands of grant recipients in roughly three dozen countries.

AliKhan, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, found that Congress had only given the foundation’s board the authority to fire its head.

Ok, cut off the funds and let the board pay for everything.
